After abandoning his once-promising career as a journalist in search of a new life in Paris, Mamush meets Hannah—a photographer whose way of seeing the world shows him the possibility of finding not only love but family. Now, five years later, with his marriage to Hannah on the verge of collapse, he returns to the close-knit immigrant Ethiopian community of Washington, DC, that defined his childhood. At its center is Mamush’s stoic, implacable mother, and Samuel, the larger-than-life father figure whose ceaseless charm and humor have always served as a cover for a harder, more troubling truth. But on the same day that Mamush arrives home in Washington, Samuel is found dead in his garage. With Hannah and their two-year-old son back in Paris, Mamush sets out on an unexpected journey across America in search of answers to questions he'd been told never to ask. As he does so, he begins to understand that perhaps the only chance he has of saving his family and making it back home is to confront not only the unresolved mystery around Samuel’s life and death, but his own troubled memories, and the years spent masking them.

Negotiating the terrain of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun and Emily St. John Mandel’s Sea of Tranquility, a brilliant, haunting speculative novel from a #1 New York Times bestselling translator that sets out to answer the question: What does it mean to be human in a world where technology is quickly catching up to biology? In a near-future world, a new technological therapy is quickly eradicating cancer. The body’s cells are entirely replaced with nanites—robot or android cells which not only cure those afflicted but leaves them virtually immortal. Literary researcher Yonghun teaches an AI how to understand poetry and creates a living, thinking machine he names Panit, meaning Beloved, in honor of his husband. When Yonghun—himself a recipient of nanotherapy—mysteriously vanishes into thin air and then just as suddenly reappears, the event raises disturbing questions. What happened to Yonghun, and though he’s returned, is he really himself anymore? When Dr. Beeko, the scientist who holds the patent to the nanotherapy technology, learns of Panit, he transfers its consciousness from the machine into an android body, giving it freedom and life. As Yonghun, Panit, and other nano humans thrive—and begin to replicate—their development will lead them to a crossroads and a choice with existential consequences. Exploring the nature of intelligence and the unexpected consequences of progress, the meaning of personhood and life, and what we really have to fear from technology and the future, Toward Eternity is a gorgeous, thought-provoking novel that challenges the notion of what makes us human—and how love survives even the end of that humanity.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/717453Tue, 09 Jul 2024 08:49:27 +0000Nikita SchambergerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/717453 to listen full audiobooks.

Through Jenna Tang’s incisive translation, the reader is brought along a heartbreaking and unflinching journey.”—Crystal Hana Kim, author of If You Leave Me ?The most influential book of Taiwan’s #MeToo movement—a heartbreaking account of sexual violence and a remarkable reinvention of the trauma plot, turning the traditional Lolita narrative upside down as it explores women’s vulnerability, victimization, and the lengths they will go to survive. Thirteen-year-old Fang Si-Chi lives with her family in an upscale apartment complex in Taiwan, a tightknit community of strict yet doting parents and privileged children raised to be ambitious, dutiful, and virtuous. She and her neighbor Liu Yi-Ting bond over their love of learning and books, devouring classic works—Proust, Gabriel García Márquez, the very best Chinese writers. Yet, it is their lack of real-world education that makes them true kindred spirits. Si-Chi’s innocence is irresistible to Lee Guo-hua, a revered cram literature teacher and serial predator who lives in her building. When he offers to tutor the academic-minded girls for free, their parents—unaware of Lee’s true nature—happily accept. While Yi-Ting’s studies with Lee are straightforward, Si-Chi learns about things no one teaches them in school—lessons about sex and love that will change the course of her life. Confused and uncertain, Si-Chi turns to her beloved books for guidance. But literature tells her nothing honest about rape or how to cope with the trauma of abuse. For her own salvation, the young girl begins to think of her personal hell as her “first love paradise,” where the power of love, no matter how twisted, gives her the strength to survive. One of the biggest books to come out of Taiwan in the last decade, Fang Si-Chi’s First Love Paradise is a chilling tale of grooming and its lingering trauma, and the power structures that allow it to flourish. Insightful, unsettling, emotionally raw, it is a staggering work of literature that reverberates across cultures and forces us to confront painful truths about the vulnerability and strength of women and those who use and hurt them.

As kids, Amelia and Kylee were found unharmed in their upstairs bedroom the night their teenage cousin Grace, who was babysitting them, vanished from the farmhouse in Beaumont, Missouri, leaving blood all over the kitchen. Scrappy and driven, Grace, the first in their family to go to college instead of getting married and working at the meatpacking plant, had been on the verge of escaping their dead-end town.

THREE BEAR WITNESS John Aubrey Pugh, an Oxford don who has given up his teaching post and come to live in a secluded Welsh valley, falls in love with Bronwen Vaughan, the wife of a young farmer who is his neighbour. She is estranged from her husband, an admirable man in many ways, but one who has compelled her to submit to some brutal sexual perversion.

Title: The Surreal and Supernatural Stories of Walter de la Mare: A BBC Radio Collection Author: Walter De La Mare Narrator: Kenneth Cranham, Julian Wadham, Walter De La Mare, Margaret Robertson, Andrew Wincott, Anthony Head, Garard Green, Full Cast, Jonathan Keeble, Richard E. Grant, Samuel West, Emma Fielding Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 34 minutes Release date: February 29, 2024 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: Full-cast dramatisations and readings of classic tales by Walter de la Mare – plus bonus material. An award-wining poet, short story writer and novelist, Walter de la Mare is probably best known for his works for children and his perennially popular poem ‘The Listeners’. His ghost stories were much admired by H. P. Lovecraft and inspired subsequent authors of supernatural horror such as Robert Aickman and Ramsey Campbell. In 1921, his novel Memoirs of a Midget won the James Tait Black Prize for Fiction, and this haunting, surrealistic tale is the opening tale in our anthology. It tells the extraordinary life story of the diminutive Miss M, who struggles to find her place in Victorian society. Torn between her obsessive suitor Mr Anon and the cruel, beautiful Fanny Bowater, she seeks freedom in the dangerous world of the circus… Emma Fielding stars as Miss M, with Robert Glenister, Sylvestra Le Touzel and Anna Massey. Based on de la Mare’s 1923 short story and starring Samuel West and Margaret Robertson, ‘Seaton’s Aunt’ sees Rupert Withers recalling the sinister relative of a boyhood friend – a woman he met just three times, but who left an indelible impression. Ghost Stories of Walter de la Mare contains four more uncanny tales – ‘All Hallows’ (read by Richard E. Grant), ‘Crewe’ (read by Kenneth Cranham), ‘A Recluse’ (read by Anthony Head) and ‘The Almond Tree’ (read by Julian Wadham). It is followed by a dramatisation of ‘The Trumpet’, starring Garard Green, in which a rector’s son meets his best friend in church one moonlit night for a dare that ends in disaster. Also included are two bonus programmes celebrating the poetry of Walter de la Mare. In Adventures in Poetry: The Listeners, Peggy Reynolds introduces a reading of the much-loved poem, and explores its background, effect and lasting appeal with guests Russell Hoban, Sean Street and de la Mare’s grandson Giles. And in Three Score and Ten, Ian Macmillan presents an archive recording from Christmas Day 1953 of Walter de la Mare reading his poems ‘England’ and ‘The Little Salamander’.

Based on de la Mare’s 1923 short story and starring Samuel West and Margaret Robertson, ‘Seaton’s Aunt’ sees Rupert Withers recalling the sinister relative of a boyhood friend – a woman he met just three times, but who left an indelible impression. Ghost Stories of Walter de la Mare contains four more uncanny tales – ‘All Hallows’ (read by Richard E. Grant), ‘Crewe’ (read by Kenneth Cranham), ‘A Recluse’ (read by Anthony Head) and ‘The Almond Tree’ (read by Julian Wadham). It is followed by a dramatisation of ‘The Trumpet’, starring Garard Green, in which a rector’s son meets his best friend in church one moonlit night for a dare that ends in disaster. Also included are two bonus programmes celebrating the poetry of Walter de la Mare. In Adventures in Poetry: The Listeners, Peggy Reynolds introduces a reading of the much-loved poem, and explores its background, effect and lasting appeal with guests Russell Hoban, Sean Street and de la Mare’s grandson Giles. And in Three Score and Ten, Ian Macmillan presents an archive recording from Christmas Day 1953 of Walter de la Mare reading his poems ‘England’ and ‘The Little Salamander’.

Title: Gone Tomorrow Author: Gary Indiana Narrator: Lee Osorio Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 57 minutes Release date: December 26, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: Footloose and broke, the unnamed narrator of Gone Tomorrow hops on a plane without asking questions when his director friend offers him a role in a film set in Colombia. But from the moment he arrives at the airport in Bogotá, only to witness a policeman beat a beggar half to death, it becomes clear that this will not be the story of gritty bohemians triumphing against the odds. The director, Paul Grosvenor, seems more interested in manipulating his cast than in shooting film. The cult star, Irma Irma, is a vamp too bored and boring to draw blood. And the beautiful, nymph-like Michael Simard doesn't seem to be putting out. Meanwhile, the film's shady financier is sleeping with his mother, while a serial killer skulks about the area killing tourists. Everything comes to a head when the carnaval celebration begins. But once the fiesta is over, all that's left are ghostly memories and the narrator's insistence on telling the tale. 'Unlike the majority of pointedly AIDS-era novels,' writes Dennis Cooper, 'Gone Tomorrow is neither an amoral nostalgia fest nor a thinly veiled wake-up call hyping the religion of sobriety. It's a philosophical work devised by a writer who's both too intelligent to buy into the notion that a successful future requires the compromise of collective decision and too moral to accept bitterness as the consequence of an adventurous life.']]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/717134Tue, 26 Dec 2023 08:49:27 +0000Nikita SchambergerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/717134 to listen full audiobooks.

'Unlike the majority of pointedly AIDS-era novels,' writes Dennis Cooper, 'Gone Tomorrow is neither an amoral nostalgia fest nor a thinly veiled wake-up call hyping the religion of sobriety. It's a philosophical work devised by a writer who's both too intelligent to buy into the notion that a successful future requires the compromise of collective decision and too moral to accept bitterness as the consequence of an adventurous life.']]>1805cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/lord-jim-at-home-by-dinah-brooke--65279264https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/714368 to listen full audiobooks.

It is the story of Giles Trenchard, who grows up isolated in an atmosphere of privilege and hidden violence; who goes to war, and returns; and then, one day—like the hero of Joseph Conrad's classic Lord Jim—commits an act that calls his past, his character, his whole world into question. Out of print for nearly half a century (and never published in the United States), Lord Jim at Home reveals a daring writer long overdue for reappraisal, whose work has retained all its originality and power.

Title: [Spanish] - Manual de pintura y caligrafía Author: José Saramago Narrator: Víctor Velasco Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 22 minutes Release date: December 7, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: 2022: AÑO SARAMAGO Una novela sobre la vida y el arte. Una reflexión sobre la escritura, la ética y el compromiso «“¿Quién es este hombre?”. Ésta es precisamente la pregunta que ningún pintor debe hacerse a sí mismo, y yo la hice». H., pintor de obras por encargo, acepta realizar un retrato de S., administrador de una poderosa compañía. Dolorosamente consciente de sus limitaciones como artista, de la mediocridad de sus telas y de la banalidad de la vidaque lleva, comienza a interrogarse sobre el sentido de su propia existencia, sus relaciones personales y sus debilidades estéticas. Como fruto de esta reflexión, H. empieza a realizar en secreto, en la intimidad de su taller, un segundo retrato de S. —menos convencional y, por tanto, más real—, al tiempo que decide escribir un diario que le ayuda a conocerse mejor a sí mismo. Este proceso de autodescubrimiento,que concluye simbólicamente con la caída del poder fascista en Portugal y el comienzo de la Revolución de los Claveles, lleva al protagonista a plantearse unos nuevos objetivos vitales, a descubrir el verdadero amor y, como consecuencia de todo ello, a conseguir su ansiada libertad como artista y como persona. Manual de pintura y caligrafía constituye una reflexión sobre el arte, la escritura, el papel de la crítica, el compromiso del ciudadano, la ética del intelectual y la mediocridad de la vida cotidiana. Endefinitiva, José Saramago nos ofrece una de las mejores novelas que se han escrito sobre la vida y el arte, la ética y la estética. La crítica ha dicho: «Saramago vuelve comprensible una realidad huidiza, con parábolas sostenidas por la imaginación, la compasión y la ironía». Comité Nobel «Un hombre con una sensibilidad y una capacidad de ver y de entender que están muy por encima de lo que en general vemos y entendemos los comunes mortales». Héctor Abad Faciolince «Saramago es un ejemplo, un estilo dignísimo de vida y literatura, que demuestra la posibilidad de navegar a contracorriente [...]. Su palabra tiene el valor de un anticongelante, de un remedio personal contra los vendavales de cinismo que nos envuelven». Luis García Montero «Yo no sé, ni quiero saberlo, de dónde ha sacado Saramago ese diabólico tono narrativo, duro y piadoso a un tiempo, [...] que le permite contar tan cerca del corazón y a la vez tan cerca de la historia». Luis Landero «Saramago escribe novelas sobre los mitos para desmitificarlos, [...] siempre para abordar la realidad que le rodea, para tratar de los problemas actuales que son de todos, y para que todo quede claro desde el principio». Rafael Conte, Babelia «Como Günter Grass o Cees Nooteboom, Saramago aspira a enlazar con un público que desborde límites nacionales».

Title: Microserfs & Girlfriend in a Coma: Two Full-Cast BBC Radio Dramatisations Author: Douglas Coupland Narrator: Jason Durran, Rayisa Kondracki, Florian Hutter, Will Merrick, Samantha Dakin, Matthew Needham, Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 20 minutes Release date: November 23, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: Coupland's iconic novels brought to life in two full-cast adaptations Bursting onto the literary scene in 1991 with his debut Generation X, Douglas Coupland's novels swiftly established themselves as modern classics and brought the term 'Gen X' into the mainstream. His work still has resonance in today's world, with his vivid explorations of identity and creativity in the post-Baby Boomer generations. These pitch perfect adaptions probe our modern popular culture, with the author's signature wry twists and unsettling revelations. In this brand new adaptation by Theo Toksvig-Stewart, Douglas Coupland's brilliantly funny novel Microserfs takes a microscope to working culture in the early days of the tech boom. Dan is a Microsoft employee in desperate need of 'a life'. His world can be summed up as eat, sleep, code, repeat, and he's not quite feeling himself. So when the chance comes along for him and his friends to leave Microsoft to form a Silicon Valley start-up called OOP!, will they take the risk and leap into the unknown? In an unflinching and hilarious story, Dan and the other Microserfs try to find purpose, love and identity in the real world. Perhaps one of Coupland's most iconic novels, Girlfriend in a Coma begins in December 1979 when 17-year-old Karen unexpectedly falls into a deep coma after a teen house party. Frighteningly, she'd predicted the end of the world in a letter sent to her boyfriend before she collapsed. Fifteen years later, Karen wakes up. The world in 1997 is a very different and confusing place. Her friends have grown up and their reality bears little resemblance to the hopes and dreams they shared in their youth. There are questions that need to be answered, time is running out and Karen must act. Available as a double bill for the first time, these stunning adaptations are a fantastic listen. Performed by a full cast with production by Sony award-winning producer Dan Rebellato, these stories make for a stellar audio experience not to be missed.

Cuenta la extraña historia de Gregor Samsa, un comerciante viajante que vive con su familia en un apartamento. Un día, al despertar, descubre que se ha transformado en un insecto gigante y repugnante. La transformación de Gregor en un insecto simboliza su alienación y aislamiento dentro de la sociedad. A medida que la historia avanza, se muestra cómo sus seres queridos, incluidos su padre, su madre y su hermana, reaccionan de manera diversa a su metamorfosis. La obra explora las complejidades de las relaciones familiares y cómo la apariencia y las circunstancias pueden alterar la percepción y el afecto que otros tienen hacia una persona. Gregor, en su nueva forma de insecto, se convierte en un ser marginado y dependiente. Aunque intenta comunicarse con su familia, su incapacidad para hablar y su aspecto repulsivo generan rechazo y miedo. A medida que la historia avanza, Gregor se va deshumanizando, y la situación se vuelve más opresiva y desesperada. A lo largo de 'La Metamorfosis', Kafka utiliza un estilo narrativo preciso y descriptivo para sumergir al lector en la mente y las experiencias de Gregor.

Becoming a mum at sixteen, falling out with her family, and being abandoned by her boyfriend has left her feeling lost and alone, but her son is a ray of light in her life, and the pair form a strong bond: it’s the two of them against the world. Many years later, with her son grown up and away at university, Poppy arrives desperate, exhausted, and half-starved to a pretty doorstep, hoping to find sanctuary in the home of her old school friend Harriet—and it is clear things have gone horribly wrong.

But as the hardships she has fled catch up with her and cracks in the sisters' strange relationship begin to show, Poppy is suspicious of Harriet’s true motivations for helping her and fears her only option will be to flee once again.

So, when the bones of a woman with a hole in her skull are discovered behind a derelict cottage, she immediately assumes the worst. Rallying her team, Lauren is flooded with a strange sense of relief when the bones turn out to be almost twenty years old, not a recent victim. But it quickly turns to dread when she receives her second heart-stopping call of the day – a little girl, Isla, has been kidnapped from her nursery and seemingly vanished, despite strict security in the building. Are the two cases connected, or could the peaceful town of Penzance be harbouring more than one monster? With the help of Detective Matt Price, her newly arrived second-in-command, Lauren is certain the suspicious behaviour of Isla’s estranged father on the day of her disappearance is a critical clue. But when another little girl is taken, again from her nursery in the middle of the day, it’s clear Lauren and Matt are still dangerously far away from discovering the harrowing truth… Get ready to be totally hooked!From the bestselling author of the Cavendish & Walker series, you won’t be able to put this murder mystery down.

Title: The Weekend Away: A totally gripping psychological thriller with a heart-stopping twist Author: Miranda Smith Narrator: Madeline Pell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 22 minutes Release date: October 4, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: My sister died. Her friends lied. And now I’ve brought them all together, I’m going to learn the truth…    My twin sister, Samantha, died a year ago.   This weekend, I’m staying in a beautiful, wood-panelled cabin in the mountains with her closest friends. There’s a firepit, hiking trails through the trees. It’s the perfect place for us to talk and remember her.   But I’m not here for that. I’m here to find out what happened.   I’ve always known there was something suspicious about her death. But no one believed me. Then I found her journal, tucked into a hidden space in the window seat of our childhood bedroom, and what I read there changed everything.   The journal shows who they really are: the fraud. The liar. The cheat. The crush.   And I’m going to confront them. Expose their secrets. One of them killed her, and I will prove it.   But when the journal vanishes, and one of us is attacked, and fire breaks out on the mountain…   What will I risk to get justice for Samantha? And how far am I willing to go?   An absolutely compulsive thriller that will have your pulse racing as you flip through the pages at speed! If you like The Hunting Party, Ruth Ware and The Summer House, you’ll love The Weekend Away!   See what readers are saying about Miranda Smith:   “I STAYED UP UNTIL 1AM FINISHING THIS BOOK.

He’s longing for someone to look after his poor, sick wife Sabrina in their perfect Florida home. The job pays an awful lot. And I really need the money. As long as they don’t ask too many questions…   I spend my days by Sabrina’s side. She has everything money could buy – a luxurious home, a handsome, doting husband who would do anything for her. I hate cleaning up her mess, picking her designer clothes off the floor, and driving her to the golf club. I hate how she sneers at me, no matter what I do. But I have to remember why I’m really here.   Dr Roth has made it clear I have to make sure she takes her medication. Because if she doesn’t, there’s hell to pay. Three times a day, I count her sedative pills carefully. Sabrina rambles about the death of a child. About a terrible accident. Dr Roth shakes his head sadly. Delusions are a heartbreaking symptom of his wife’s illness, he says.   But when Dr Roth leaves the house, Sabrina becomes more clear-headed. She tells me she’s done something terrible. And that her husband is lying. He keeps her trapped because of what she did. And I’m the only one who can help her escape.   Can I believe the words of a woman suffering from delusions? Or is Dr Roth not as trustworthy as he seems? Someone is lying. And if the Roths find out why I’m really here, this could take a deadly turn…   An unbelievably gripping psychological thriller with a mind-blowing twist that will have you flipping the pages deep into the night.

He manipulates everyone from judges to skinheads. Everything in his life is so calm and predictable, when suddenly his moneylenders are robbed in broad daylight by three men in masks of fairy beasts. The town is immediately surrounded by a red line. Crossing it is an immediate death sentence. Laurel himself leads the investigation of the collectors. He does not allow them to eat, but he allows them to drink alcohol. He divides the collectors according to their traits: Bold, Cynical, Coward, Good, Evil.

But the death of the collectors is unavoidable. Laurel realizes this and intervenes. Shooting over a dozen skinheads. Beaten half to death, Evil decides to cross the red line.

Bright, popular, beautiful – she has always been everything that I’m not. But when she vanishes without a trace I know deep down I’m the only person who can find her.   I haven’t spoken to my sister Evianna in years, not since a shocking accident tore our lives apart and sent us to opposite sides of the country. For years I have worked as a social worker and Evianna is wealthy and successful. Our lives couldn’t be more different.   But then I get the call. Evianna is missing and her husband Simon needs my help. Arriving at their palatial home, I expect to find Simon wracked with worry for her safety but if anything he seems more worried about what everyone will think.   Scratching beneath the surface of their picture-perfect life, I discover that they were not the golden couple everyone thought. They had secrets they were desperate to hide. But then again as young sisters, so did we.   As Simon’s behaviour becomes more threatening towards me, a feeling of deep dread starts to swell. I think he knows our secret. But how far will he go to make me pay for happened and can I find my sister before it’s too late?   A totally gripping psychological thriller about toxic sisterhood and dark secrets that will have you reading just one more chapter until you reach the shocking final twist. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, The Woman in the Window and Gone Girl.   What readers are saying about Dea Poirier:   “WHAT did I just read!!!! WOW!!! I mean seriously Wow!!...

Suddenly, a flash of red catches her eye and she turns. It’s a scarf. Red and cream, in a large, checked pattern. And the person wearing it— No! It can’t be… Three weeks later.

The beautiful wife. Supposedly happily married and enjoying a family vacation. I know her husband killed her. And I’m going to make him pay…   This is my first job as a housekeeper, but Evan Warner doesn’t need to know that. It’s the first of many lies I’ll tell him. He just lost his wife, Lola, and now he and his young daughter Jessica are adrift. But no amount of cleaning will rid this house of the secrets that have seeped into the cracks. I never forgave Lola for what she did to me. But I can’t let Evan get away with her murder.   In their impressive home, I busy myself preparing meals and peeking at carelessly discarded mail, looking for proof of his crimes. Evan hovers and I’m sure he is watching me… even as I bond with Jessica. But whenever he catches us alone together, his face darkens. I realize I have to get her out of this house before it’s too late for her, too.   Then I find Lola’s diary, tucked away in a closet out of sight. Her words, hastily scrawled on these pages, change everything I thought I knew about this family. As I hear footsteps on the stairs, I know I’m trapped. And I’m in more danger now than ever before…   The Wife in the Photo is a totally twisty psychological thriller guaranteed to keep you up all night. Fans of Freida McFadden, Gone Girl and The Couple Next Door will find it impossible to put down.   See what readers are saying about Emily Shiner:   “O.M.G!! WOW!! This. Book. Was. So. Good!!

The beautiful wife. Supposedly happily married and enjoying a family vacation. I know her husband killed her. And I’m going to make him pay…   This is my first job as a housekeeper, but Evan Warner doesn’t need to know that. It’s the first of many lies I’ll tell him. He just lost his wife, Lola, and now he and his young daughter Jessica are adrift. But no amount of cleaning will rid this house of the secrets that have seeped into the cracks. I never forgave Lola for what she did to me. But I can’t let Evan get away with her murder.   In their impressive home, I busy myself preparing meals and peeking at carelessly discarded mail, looking for proof of his crimes. Evan hovers and I’m sure he is watching me… even as I bond with Jessica. But whenever he catches us alone together, his face darkens. I realize I have to get her out of this house before it’s too late for her, too.   Then I find Lola’s diary, tucked away in a closet out of sight. Her words, hastily scrawled on these pages, change everything I thought I knew about this family. As I hear footsteps on the stairs, I know I’m trapped. And I’m in more danger now than ever before…   The Wife in the Photo is a totally twisty psychological thriller guaranteed to keep you up all night. Fans of Freida McFadden, Gone Girl and The Couple Next Door will find it impossible to put down.   See what readers are saying about Emily Shiner:   “O.M.G!! WOW!! This. Book. Was. So. Good!!

Title: [Spanish] - Las indignas Author: Agustina Bazterrica Narrator: Maru Drozd, Agustina Bazterrica Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 53 minutes Release date: September 1, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: La nueva novela de la aclamada autora de Cadáver exquisito, premio Clarín de Novela y un fenómeno mundial con más de 200.000 lectores en una treintena de países. «Nadie le dice que no a la Hermana Superior. Nadie que quiera seguir viva». El mundo como lo conocemos ha desaparecido después del gran apagón y de varias crisis climáticas. Apenas hay animales ni naturaleza y pocas personas han sobrevivido. Varias mujeres llegaron a una suerte de convento buscando refugio y han sido captadas por una secta religiosa. Una de ellas cuenta esta historia, escrita a escondidas noche tras noche para que alguien sepa todo lo que pasa entre esas paredes: torturas, sacrificios y ceremonias terroríficas en nombre de la iluminación. Se encuentran bajo el mando estricto de la Hermana Superior, por encima de quien solo se erige “Él”. ¿Quién es Él? Poco se sabe, nadie puede verlo, pero domina desde las sombras. Agustina Bazterrica, la autora de la inolvidable Cadáver exquisito, nos ofrece en esta nueva y esperada novela una distopía perturbadora, en la que resplandece la naturaleza oscura de una falsa divinidad, un dios abusivo, pero también la forma subrepticia, aunque poderosa, de la amistad. Sobre Cadáver exquisito: «Novela mayor, cuya acción transcurre en el interior de una atmósfera densa e hipnótica en la que el lector queda atrapado desde las primeras líneas como si fuera uno de sus personajes». Juan José Millás «Horriblemente eficaz. […] Esta provocativa novela maneja con maestría un cuchillo de doble filo». The Guardian «Desde las primeras palabras de la segunda novela de la novelista argentina Agustina Bazterrica, Cadáver exquisito, el lector ya es el ganado de la fila, tambaleándose, primordialmente consciente de que este libro es una carnicería, y nada de lo que suceda a continuación va a ser bonito». New York Times Book Review «¿A qué precio es viable un mundo sin animales? Esa es la pregunta que se hace la autora argentina Agustina Bazterrica. [...] Con un arte perfectamente calibrado con la ironía, [ella] presenta un asombroso retrato de una humanidad dispuesta a hacer cualquier cosa para satisfacerse, incluso a expensas de sí misma». Le Monde «Una expresión mordaz y sin concesiones de lo que ocurre a diario en nuestra sociedad». La Nación «Con un lenguaje directo y despojado, Cadáver exquisito incursiona en los mecanismos siniestros de una sociedad distópica y caníbal. Las imágenes, tanto repulsivas como fascinantes, recuerdan por momentos a los cuadros violentos de Francis Bacon. La novela rodea al lector con una sensación de amenaza al volver visibles algunas prácticas oscuras y normalizadas de la vida actual». Pedro Mairal «Escrita con lenguaje minimalista, de alta precisión, Cadáver exquisito es una fábula impactante sobre la crueldad entre los seres humanos, aunque no desprovista de poesía».

Deluca Narrator: Laura Jennings Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 15 minutes Release date: July 25, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: Anna’s done bad things before. Neglected and unloved as a child, she had to do whatever it took to keep herself and her little sister, Birdie, safe. But the worst thing she’s ever done is let her sister walk out of a diner when they were teenagers. She would never see her again. Years later, Anna is a new person. After a whirlwind romance, she’s married handsome, successful, and generous Guy. She has a steady job and a new life of comfort. Things seem perfect. But she hasn’t told her husband about her dark past or about Birdie, that she’s still looking for her. It’s not about his too-perfect veneer or her suspicion that he flirts with other women; it’s that he has a complicated past and family secrets too—secrets that might be more entwined with hers than he knows. After all this time, one thing about Anna remains the same: there’s nothing she wouldn’t do for her sister. And when she finds out who’s kept them apart for all these years, there will be hell to pay.

Deluca Narrator: Helen Laser Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 20 minutes Release date: July 18, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: I wish I could say that the tragedy of little Jack disappearing brought me and Nate closer together. But my husband is more distant from me now than he’s ever been. Perhaps that’s why I don’t ask him exactly where he’s going when he sets off on another business trip.

Both their families live in the small, tight-knit town of Oakheart, and their daughters are the best of friends. The relationship is over, but her guilt haunts her every waking moment. She tries to push it down, but it's always there, simmering just beneath the surface. Fran has managed to keep the truth hidden from her husband… so far. But the cracks in their marriage are starting to show. Meanwhile, Ben and his wife Tessa seem stronger than ever, though Fran knows that things aren't always as they appear. When Tessa begins trying to get closer to Fran, she’s scared – scared of what Tessa might do, of what she might lose. High Heaven, a cliff overlooking the disused chalk pit on the outskirts of town, is a place of secrets. A woman tragically died there years ago, a woman who – Fran is shocked to discover – had a connection to Ben. The more she digs, the more she realises that the people around her aren’t who she thought they were at all. The truth is out there, somewhere… but is Fran brave enough to face it? A gripping page-turner of a story! Fans of The Wife Between Us and The Couple Next Door will love this twisty tale of friendship, betrayal and deceit.

The dual narrative was perfectly balanced and I felt sympathy for both women… This is a story of guilt, secrets, love and revenge.” Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A fabulous psychological suspense/domestic noir mystery… the tension builds well, from the captivating opening, throughout the gripping story, right up to its excellent ending.

Title: The Quest of the Silver Fleece Author: W. E. B. Du Bois Narrator: Bahni Turpin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 13 minutes Release date: July 11, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: In The Quest of the Silver Fleece there is little, I ween, divine or ingenious; but, at least, I have been honest. In no fact or picture have I consciously set down aught the counterpart of which I have not seen or known; and whatever the finished picture may lack of completeness, this lack is due now to the story-teller, now to the artist, but never to the herald of the Truth. —Author’s Note from The Quest of the Silver Fleece W. E. B. Du Bois considered his first novel, The Quest of the Silver Fleece, to be an “economic study” of the post-Reconstruction relationship between the North and the South, but this first foray into fiction proves itself to be much more than that. Filled with literary realism, social commentary, and romance, Silver Fleece chronicles the love story between Zora, a free-spirited Black girl from a Southern swamp, and Bles, a Black man educated in the North. The couple must find a way to unite and overcome the racist Alabama town in which they live and, through working with the titular silver fleece (cotton), create an economic community that would help the rural Black community become self-sufficient. Controversial and provocative at the time of its publication, Du Bois’s debut novel is a cutting and thorough examination, and condemnation, of America’s views on race both at the time of the novel’s publication and the time in which it is set. As a sociologist and civil-rights leader, Du Bois was uniquely positioned to bring the themes of racism, prejudice, and racial equality found in The Souls of Black Folk, which he had published just before Silver Fleece, to a larger audience that had not read his nonfiction titles. The Quest of the Silver Fleece is a rousing and beautiful work of fiction from one of America’s most important intellects, and it continues to inspire conversation and debate around systemic racism in America today.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/680089Tue, 11 Jul 2023 08:49:27 +0000Nikita SchambergerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/680089 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Luz de agosto Author: William Faulkner Narrator: Javier Lacroix Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 51 minutes Release date: June 29, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: Luz de agosto es una de las obras más representativas del premio Nobel de Literatura William Faulkner. En Luz de agosto aparecen retratados algunos de los personajes más memorables de Faulkner: la cándida e intrépida Lena Grove en busca del padre de su hijo; el reverendo Gal Hightower, atormentado por constante visiones de soldados de caballería confederados, y Joe Christmas, un misterioso vagabundo consumido por los orígenes raciales de sus antepasados. Faulkner, además de haber sido el creador de una forma de narrar que ha influido poderosamente en las generaciones que le han continuado, fue el cronista de los más notables hechos, costumbres y personajes de su tierra. Luz de agosto es una de las obras más representativas de un hombre que, trabajando sobre la historia y haciendo campear la imaginación, logró convertirse en uno de los escritores más importantes de su siglo. La crítica ha dicho: «Faulkner indagó en las sombras con emoción y talento difícilmente comparables [...]. Cualquiera que tenga curiosidad por la novela del siglo XX en cualquier idioma tiene la obligación de leer a William Faulkner.» Javier Marías «Faulkner gusta de exponer la novela a través de los personajes. El método no es absolutamente original, pero Faulkner le infunde una intensidad que es casi intolerable.» Jorge Luis Borges «El vínculo entre Cervantes y Faulkner se encuentra en que los dos añaden algo al mundo, ilustran nuestro espíritu, al convertir los mundos ocultos en mundos liberados: Faulkner mediante la conciencia trágica del dolor y Cervantes mediante la comedia y la idea de que el hombre prevalecerá.» Carlos Fuentes «Al leer y releer a Faulkner es forzoso sospechar que su mirada era distinta a la nuestra, a la del común de los hombres, a la del común de los escritores. Detenida sobre paisajes, personas, circunstancias, veía algo más que lo percibido por nosotros [...].

Title: [Spanish] - Luz de agosto Author: William Faulkner Narrator: Javier Lacroix Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 51 minutes Release date: June 29, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: Luz de agosto es una de las obras más representativas del premio Nobel de Literatura William Faulkner. En Luz de agosto aparecen retratados algunos de los personajes más memorables de Faulkner: la cándida e intrépida Lena Grove en busca del padre de su hijo; el reverendo Gal Hightower, atormentado por constante visiones de soldados de caballería confederados, y Joe Christmas, un misterioso vagabundo consumido por los orígenes raciales de sus antepasados. Faulkner, además de haber sido el creador de una forma de narrar que ha influido poderosamente en las generaciones que le han continuado, fue el cronista de los más notables hechos, costumbres y personajes de su tierra. Luz de agosto es una de las obras más representativas de un hombre que, trabajando sobre la historia y haciendo campear la imaginación, logró convertirse en uno de los escritores más importantes de su siglo. La crítica ha dicho: «Faulkner indagó en las sombras con emoción y talento difícilmente comparables [...]. Cualquiera que tenga curiosidad por la novela del siglo XX en cualquier idioma tiene la obligación de leer a William Faulkner.» Javier Marías «Faulkner gusta de exponer la novela a través de los personajes. El método no es absolutamente original, pero Faulkner le infunde una intensidad que es casi intolerable.» Jorge Luis Borges «El vínculo entre Cervantes y Faulkner se encuentra en que los dos añaden algo al mundo, ilustran nuestro espíritu, al convertir los mundos ocultos en mundos liberados: Faulkner mediante la conciencia trágica del dolor y Cervantes mediante la comedia y la idea de que el hombre prevalecerá.» Carlos Fuentes «Al leer y releer a Faulkner es forzoso sospechar que su mirada era distinta a la nuestra, a la del común de los hombres, a la del común de los escritores. Detenida sobre paisajes, personas, circunstancias, veía algo más que lo percibido por nosotros [...]. Es, literariamente, uno de los más grandes artistas del siglo.» Juan Carlos Onetti «Faulkner es un dios.» Jean-Paul Sartre «El más radical innovador de los anales de la ficción norteamericana, un escritor a cuyas clases deberían acudir la vanguardia europea e hispanoamericana.» J.

He designed and built his family’s dream home, working extra hours to pay off the adjustable rate mortgage he took on the property, convinced he is making every sacrifice for the happiness of his wife and son.

Title: Life Is Everywhere: A Novel Author: Lucy Ives Narrator: Cassidy Brown Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 40 minutes Release date: May 16, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: Manhattan, 2014. It's an unseasonably warm Thursday in November and Erin Adamo is locked out of her apartment. Her husband has just left her and meanwhile her keys are in her coat, which she abandoned at her parents' apartment when she exited mid-dinner after her father—once again—lost control. Erin takes refuge in the library of the university where she is a grad student. Her bag contains two manuscripts she's written, along with a monograph by a faculty member who's recently become embroiled in a bizarre scandal. Erin isn't sure what she's doing, but a small, mostly unconscious part of her knows: within these documents is a key she's needed all along. With unflinching precision, Life Is Everywhere captures emotional events that hover fitfully at the borders of visibility and intelligibility, showing how the past lives on, often secretly and at the expense of the present. It's about one person on one evening, reckoning with heartbreak—a story that, to be fully told, unexpectedly requires many others, from the history of botulism to an enigmatic surrealist prank.

Title: [Spanish] - La nieta del señor Linh Author: Philippe Claudel Narrator: Eugenio Gómez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 8 minutes Release date: April 27, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: Una exquisita fábula sobre el exilio y la soledad. Elogiada unánimemente por la crítica y el público, se han vendido más de 200 mil ejemplares y ha sido publicada en once idiomas. Una fría mañana de noviembre, tras un penoso viaje en barco, un anciano desembarca en un país que podría ser Francia, donde no conoce a nadie y cuya lengua ignora. El señor Linh huye de una guerra que ha acabado con su familia y destrozado su aldea. La guerra le ha robado todo menos a su nieta, un bebé llamado Sang Diu, que en su idioma significa «Mañana dulce», una niña tranquila que duerme siempre que el abuelo tararee su nana, la melodía que han cantado durante generaciones las mujeres de la familia. Instalado en un piso de acogida, el señor Linh solo se preocupa por su nieta, su única razón de existir hasta que conoce al señor Bark, un hombre robusto y afable cuya mujer ha fallecido recientemente. Un afecto espontáneo surge entre estos dos solitarios que hablan distintas lenguas, pero que son capaces de comprenderse en silencio y a través de pequeños gestos. Ambos se encuentran regularmente en un banco del parque hasta que, una mañana, los servicios sociales conducen al señor Linh a un hospicio que no está autorizado a abandonar. El señor Linh consigue, sin embargo, escapar con Sang Diu y adentrarse en la ciudad desconocida, decidido a encontrar a su único amigo. Su coraje y determinación lo conducirán a un inesperado desenlace, profundamente conmovedor. El estilo narrativo, extremadamente depurado, casi minimalista, marca un punto de inflexión en la trayectoria de Claudel, ganador del Premio Renaudot 2003. La nieta del señor Linh ha sido recibida con entusiasmo en Francia, donde permanece en las listas de los libros más vendidos desde su aparición. La crítica ha dicho... «El redescubrimiento del mundo contado con sencillez y emoción.» Jose María Guelbenzu, Babelia «Una novelita especial cuyo vuelo escapa de sus páginas y va más allá de las caracterizaciones estilizadas de sus personajes, su lenguaje sencillo o su deliciosa sorpresa final.» María Bengoa «Si una vida puede vivirse a base de instantáneas, sólo es deseable si la retrata la pluma de Claudel. Las páginas son certeras puñaladas de verdad. [...] Dicen que sólo valen la pena los libros que te cambian la vida y ese es el poder balsámico de Claudel, artesano de la lengua y sus ficciones.» Ángeles López, Libros]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/680845Thu, 27 Apr 2023 08:49:27 +0000Nikita SchambergerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/680845 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - El hombre duplicado Author: José Saramago Narrator: Víctor Velasco Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 7 minutes Release date: April 13, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: 2022: AÑO SARAMAGO Una novela que se lee con la avidez de un relato de intriga pero que nos sumerge en las cuestiones esenciales de la vida. «El caos es un orden por descifrar». Libro de los Contrarios ¿Qué sucede cuando Tertuliano Máximo Afonso descubre a los treinta y ocho años que en su ciudad vive un individuo que es su copia exacta y con el que no le une ningún vínculo de sangre? Ése es el interrogante que Saramago, explorando de nuevo las profundidades del alma, plantea en El hombre duplicado. ¿Cómo saber quiénes somos? ¿En qué consiste la identidad? ¿Qué nos define como personas individuales y únicas? ¿Podemos asumir que nuestravoz, nuestros rasgos, hasta la mínima marca distintiva, se repitan en otra persona? ¿Podríamos intercambiarnos con nuestro doble sin que nuestros allegados lo percibiesen? Innovando frente a las convenciones de la novela, Saramago convierte la voz narradora en sujeto activo, en un juego metaliterario que pone al servicio de la historia y que va mucho más allá de las rupturas estrictamente formales.Una novela que se lee con la avidez de un relato de intriga pero que nos sumerge en las cuestiones esenciales de la vida. La crítica ha dicho: «Un discurso novelístico estructurado con rara maestría, donde el lector queda inmerso desde la primera página. Saramago nos sorprende hasta el último momento». Darío Villanueva, El Cultural «Una novela que se lee con la pasión de desvelar un enigma». José María Pozuelo Yvancos, ABCultural «Saramago vuelvecomprensible una realidad huidiza, con parábolas sostenidas por la imaginación, la compasión y la ironía». Comité Nobel «Un hombre con una sensibilidad y una capacidad de ver y de entender que están muy por encima de lo que en general vemos y entendemos los comunes mortales». Héctor Abad Faciolince «Saramago es un ejemplo, un estilo dignísimo de vida y literatura, que demuestra la posibilidad de navegar a contracorriente [...]. Su palabra tiene el valor de un anticongelante, de un remedio personal contra los vendavales de cinismo que nos envuelven». Luis García Montero «Yo no sé, ni quiero saberlo, de dónde ha sacado Saramago ese diabólico tono narrativo,duro y piadoso a un tiempo, [...] que le permite contar tan cerca del corazón y a la vez tan cerca de la historia». Luis Landero «Saramago escribe novelas sobre los mitos para desmitificarlos, [...] siempre para abordar la realidad que le rodea, para tratar de los problemas actuales que son de todos, y para que todo quede claro desde el principio». Rafael Conte, Babelia «Como Günter Grass o Cees Nooteboom, Saramago aspira a enlazar con un público que desborde límites nacionales».

Una historia narrada por un necio, llena de ruido y furia, que nada significa.» Macbeth, William Shakespeare Por primera vez, William Faulkner introduce el monólogo interior y revela los diferentes puntos de vista de sus personajes: Benjy, deficiente mental, castrado por sus propios parientes; Quentin, poseído por un amor incestuoso e incapaz de controlar los celos, y Jason, monstruo de maldad y sadismo. Otros autores han dicho... «Cuando leí a William Faulkner, de repente me di cuenta de que la prosa podía tener la libertad y la posible indisciplina de la poesía.» Michael Ondaatje «Cuando un novelista consigue que su novela transmita al lector esa sensación perentoria, inapelable, de que aquello que cuenta sólo podría ocurrir así -ser contado así-, ha triunfado en toda línea.» Mario Vargas Llosa «Faulkner indagó en las sombras con emoción y talento difícilmente comparables [...]. Cualquiera que tenga curiosidad por la noveladel siglo XX en cualquier idioma tiene la obligación de leer a William Faulkner.» Javier Marías «Faulkner gusta de exponer la novela a través de los personajes. El método no es absolutamente original, pero Faulkner le infunde una intensidad que es casi intolerable.» Jorge Luis Borges «Faulkner es un dios.» Jean-Paul Sartre «El más radical innovador de los anales de la ficción norteamericana, un escritor a cuyas clases deberían acudir la vanguardia europea e hispanoamericana.» J. M. Coetzee «El vínculo entre Cervantes y Faulkner se encuentra en que los dos añaden algo al mundo, ilustran nuestro espíritu, al convertir los mundos ocultos en mundos liberados: Faulkner mediante la conciencia trágica del dolor y Cervantes mediante la comedia y la idea de que el hombre prevalecerá.» Carlos Fuentes «Al leer y releer a Faulkner es forzoso sospechar que su mirada era distinta a la nuestra, a la del común de los hombres, a la del común de los escritores.

Hall Narrator: Jeannie Sheneman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 24 minutes Release date: February 28, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: What are you capable of? Go through a life-changing, tragic event, and ask yourself that same question. Could you lie, steal, cheat? Betray someone you love, hide secrets from the one person you are supposed to share everything with? Could you take justice into your own hands? Could you kill? Melany Polk had to ask herself these same questions. She had built the perfect life with her husband, Richard. Together they are raising two teenagers in the suburbs of Plano, Texas. While Richard’s work calls for him to be away from home a lot, Melany is allowed the privilege of being a stay-at-home mom. She spends her days catering to her children, taking strolls with the family dog, and gossiping with her elderly pothead neighbor. At the age of 43, she is in the best shape of her life. After taking up running as a hobby, she has a routine of fitting in a run around her neighborhood every night before bed. She considers herself a good, positive person. The people in her life would say the same. She could never answer yes to any of the questions above, or at least the old Melany couldn’t. On the evening of March 4, a single act of brutal violence almost ends Melany's life during her nightly run. She now suffers through a grueling recovery. Melany struggles to find herself but is failing miserably. Every time she starts to feel like herself again, something is thrown in her path to remind her that he’s still out there. Lost and spiraling out of control, she has begun to withdraw from life. The disfigured face and body she now carries are starting to create a personality of its own. She wonders if she will ever be able to move on. The monster that did this to her remains a mystery; she fears he may come back so he can finish her off. Melany may seem like a timid housewife to some. The monster changed something inside her. She is no longer the innocent woman from before.

Title: [Spanish] - El vino de la soledad Author: Irène Némirovsky Narrator: Charo Soria Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 7 minutes Release date: February 23, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: La novela más personal y autobiográfica de Irène Némirovsky. El vino de la soledad (publicada en 1935) recrea el destino de una adinerada familia rusa refugiada en París, y describe la venganza de una joven contra su madre, motivo que la escritora ya había tratado en esa pequeña joya literaria que es El baile. Con una mirada inteligente y ácida, la novela sigue a la pequeña Elena de los ocho años a la mayoría de edad, desde Ucrania hasta San Petersburgo, Finlandia y finalmente París, donde la familia se instala tras el estallido de la revolución rusa, en un recorrido paralelo al que realizó la propia Némirovsky. La madre de Elena, una mujer bella y frívola de origen noble, desprecia a su marido, un potentado judío, y a su hija. Tras la muerte de la gobernanta, la vida de la niña se vuelve aún más difícil, pues su madre instala en la casa a su amante, un primo quince años más joven que ella. No obstante, el tiempo convierte a Elena en una joven hermosa, y el día que descubre que atrae al amante de su madre, comprende que ha llegado el momento de vengarse. La crítica ha dicho... «El vino de la soledad es en parte novela y en parte fantasía autobiográfica, pero sobre todo es la denuncia de una madre que consiente que su hija adopte el papel de rival sexual.» J. M. Coetzee, The New York Review of Books «Némirovsky es autora de una de las obras de ficción más grandes, humanas e incisivas que el conflicto ha originado.» The New York Times Book Review «Nunca antes Némirovsky había indagado tan a fondo en el dolor del mundo de la infancia como en esta novela, cuya protagonista, Elena Karol, es de hecho su doble, su álter ego literario.» La Repubblica «Némirovsky da lo mejor de sí en el retrato de la pequeña Elena [...]. El vino de la soledad no es una saga familiar, sino un ajuste de cuentas filial.» Marianne]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/668028Thu, 23 Feb 2023 08:49:27 +0000Nikita SchambergerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/668028 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - El ardor de la sangre Author: Irène Némirovsky Narrator: Javier Portugués (portu) Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 34 minutes Release date: February 2, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: Intimista y conmovedora. Todo un hallazgo que confirma a Irène Némirovsky entre los autores europeos más destacados del siglo XX. Todo ocurre en una tranquila villa de provincias francesa, a principios de los años treinta. Silvio, el narrador, ha dilapidado su fortuna recorriendo mundo. A los sesenta años, sin mujer ni hijos, sólo le queda esperar la muerte mientras se dedica a observar la comedia humana en este rincón de Francia donde, aparentemente, nunca sucede nada. Un día, sin embargo, una muerte trágica quiebra la placidez de esa sociedad cerrada y hierática. A partir de allí, emergen uno tras otro los secretos del pasado, hechos ocultados cuidadosamente que demuestran cómo la pasión juvenil, ese ardor de la sangre, puede trastornar el curso de la vida.

Title: This Family Sucks! Sincerely Yours, Peter Frazier Author: Leigh M. Hall, Christopher Rourke Narrator: Christopher Rourke Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 35 minutes Release date: February 1, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: Have you ever thought that maybe you didn’t belong? Have you ever looked around at your family members and thought, there is no way I am related to these people? Both Peter Frazier and Trent Lockley thought this about the families they were born into. Two boys, the same age, miles apart. They are both from small Texas towns, born in the same hospital, on the same day. However, their lives turned out to be nothing alike. The Frazier family is a large, lively bunch. The fact that they are close-knit and share every detail of their lives with each other always seemed a little strange to Peter. Although he loves every one of his six siblings and his overly affectionate parents, he couldn’t help but feel out of place around them. Trent Lockley is an only child born to abusive parents and spent most of his life posing as a punching bag for the town drunks. As he grew into a young man, his anger grew with him. Trent got in a lot of trouble as an adolescent. He would start fights at school frequently, and once he grew up and got even bigger than his drug addict father, he started fights at home. It is the summer of 1996; the Frazier family is preparing for Peter’s High School graduation, and Peter is a little nervous because he has yet to make any plans for his future. He always figured that once he turned eighteen, he would hit the road and never look back, but now that the day is here, he isn’t so sure. The idea of leaving his family, mainly his baby sister Tallulah behind now scares him.Right before the two strangers turn eighteen, they cross paths. Trent has somehow managed to wiggle his way into the Frazier’s life, and Peter becomes suspicious of this newcomer and starts to question everything about him. The rest of the Frazier family seem to be blinded by Trent’s charm and simply adore him. A dark cloud is hovering over the once perfect household. At every turn, the Frazier family get nothing but devastating news. Peter is not sure what this Trent character is capable of, but since his arrival, everything has gone wrong, so he must have something to do with it. Peter starts to piece the puzzle together but is it too late? Once the truth is discovered, Peter starts to realize that his family doesn’t actually suck as much as he initially thought.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/657984Wed, 01 Feb 2023 08:49:27 +0000Nikita SchambergerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/657984 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Cafeteria Author: Isaac Bashevis Singer Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 40 minutes Release date: February 1, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: In this mystical short story, the author recalls frequenting a Broadway cafeteria where he would meet other Polish and Russian immigrants. In the fifties, a woman named Esther became part of their group. Although she had been in a Russian prison camp and now had taken a menial job to support her cripple father, she was cheerful and outgoing. She and the author became good friends, but each time he saw her, she looked more disenchanted; her father died, she was often ill, and she worried about her sanity. Several years after their first meeting, she called the author and came to his apartment to tell him that she had seen Hitler, surrounded by Nazis in the Broadway cafeteria the night it burned down. The author tried to reassure her that she had had a vision, but he was convinced that she was mad. One night he saw her in the subway, looking happy and prosperous, on the arm of an ancient man he had thought was long dead. He was upset by seeing her with the old man, and reappraised her story of seeing Hitler, realizing that if, as Kant argues, time and space are only forms of perception, then she might really have seen Hitler. The next day he learned that she had killed herself some time before he saw her in the subway.

Trust is given, words exchanged of steadfast support and suddenly for unfathomable reasons of family, loyalty, love or greater gain elsewhere you are cast aside. It’s difficult to justify and painful to receive. It can bruise lives and is often the cause of a need, a want, a desire for revenge.

An Eastern Tale Author: Vladimir Korolenko Narrator: Mark Rice-Oxley, Ghizela Rowe Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 46 minutes Release date: January 1, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: Vladimir Galaktionovich Korolenko was born in Zhytomyr, Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire on 27th July 1853.His father died when he was 13 and life was then often struck with bouts of poverty, which resulted in his education being somewhat erratic. A spell in exile at 23 was followed by another as the politics of the times opposed his volatile but heart-felt passions.Writing was also coming to the fore and in 1879 his debut short story telling of a young Narodnik searching for social and spiritual identity, was published.In 1881, Korolenko refused to swear allegiance to the new Russian Tsar and was again exiled, this time much farther afield. He spent the next three years doing manual work, but took time to study local customs and history. These impressions in exile provided rich material for his writings.In 1885 he was allowed to settle in Nizhny, where again he repeatedly questioned the authorities. That same year ‘Makar's Dream’ established his literary reputation and was part of his first collection ‘Sketches and Stories’, the following year.In the early 1890’s when famine struck Central Russia, he went to work on relief missions, collecting donations, supervising the delivery and distribution of food, opening 45 free canteens, all this while writing the graphic reports that would later be published as ‘In the Year of Famine’ in 1893.By 1896 despite some psychological disorders, he was well regarded amongst Russian writers and was even a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Throughout his writing career Korolenko was a staunch advocate of human rights, putting that sacred activity above what he called his 'part-time-writing'.In the Revolutionary year of 1905, under his editorship, Russkoye Bogatstvo published the Manifest by the Petersburg Soviet of the Workers' deputies. Korolenko was now repeatedly harassed by the authorities, had his flat raided many times and materials confiscated.As a lifetime opponent of Tsarism, he guardedly welcomed the Revolution of 1917. Once the nature of Bolshevism was established, he soon started to criticize it. During the Russian Civil War that ensued, he condemned both the Red Terror and the White Terror. Despite suffering from a progressive heart disorder, he collected food packages for children in famine-stricken Moscow and Petrograd as well as organised orphanages and shelters for the homeless. Vladimir Korolenko died in Poltava, Ukraine, of the complications of pneumonia on 25th December 1921.

Title: Short Stories about Isolation & Loneliness Author: Jack London, Nikolai Gogol Narrator: Ghizela Rowe, William Dufris Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 30 minutes Release date: January 1, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: Time seems to move to a slower beat. Everything becomes more circumspect when you have no one to share the big things of life or even the everyday little things. The worry of being alone, to be apart from others. The solitary feeling for a short time might help to get things into perspective or cool a raging mind. But if it’s long term then the mind begins to play tricks. Conversations are between ourselves, no outside voice to support, to balance, to question or confirm.

A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted 'Top Tens' across many different themes and authors.

The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.

If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.In this volume that most heinous of crimes is explored and dissected by the minds of our classic authors who show that the taking of another's life in print is so real that the possibility arises that they have carried out this deed in reality.

Title: H G Wells - A Short Story Collection - Volume 3 Author: H.G. Wells Narrator: Elliot Fitzpatrick Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 39 minutes Release date: January 1, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: Herbert George Wells was born on September 21st, 1866 at Atlas House, 46 High Street, Bromley, Kent. He was the youngest of four siblings and his family affectionately knew him as 'Bertie'. The first few years of his childhood were spent fairly quietly, and Wells didn't display much literary interest until, in 1874, he accidentally broke his leg and was left to recover in bed, largely entertained by the library books his father regularly brought him. Through these Wells found he could escape the boredom and misery of his bed and convalescence by exploring the new worlds he encountered in these books. From these humble beginnings began a career that was, after several delays, to be seen as one of the most brilliant of modern English writers. Able to write comfortably in a number of genres he was especially applauded for his science fiction works such as The Time Machine and War of the Worlds but his forays into the social conditions of the times, with classics such as Kipps, were almost as commercially successful. His short stories are miniature masterpieces many of which bring new and incredible ideas of science fiction to the edge of present day science fact. Wells also received four nominations for the Nobel Prize in LiteratureDespite a strong and lasting second marriage his affairs with other women also brought the complications of fathering other children. His writings and work against fascism, as well as the promotion of socialism, brought him into increasing doubts with and opposition to religion. His writings on what the world could be in works, such as A Modern Utopia, are thought provoking as well as being plausible, especially when viewed from the distressing times they were written in.His diabetic condition pushed him to create what is now the largest Diabetes charity in the United Kingdom. Wells even found the time to run twice for Parliament.It was a long, distinguished and powerfully successful career by the time he died, aged 79, on 13th August 1946.1 - H G Wells - A Short Story Collection Volume 2 - An Introduction2 - A Dream of Armageddon - Part 1 by H G Wells3 - A Dream of Armageddon - Part 2 by H G Wells4 - The Stolen Bacillus by H G Wells5 - The Cone by H G Wells6 - The Magic Shop by H G Wells]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/677474Sun, 01 Jan 2023 08:49:27 +0000Nikita SchambergerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/677474 to listen full audiobooks.

To be in that position, to get put away, for whatever reasons, for whatever pain or injury that was caused, whatever law was broken, the probability of years in a small, cramped space holds no appeal to anyone of reason and is almost always an absolute deterrent.Whilst some of the characters in these stories deserve prison, others are the victims of a mis-carriage. Our authors including Victor Hugo, Franz Kafka, William Mudford and Vincente Blasco Ibanez explore life inside, and how many of the flawed characters of their stories cope with the undoubted stresses and deprivations that their lives now cause them.

Title: Virginia Woolf - A Short Story Collection - Volume 2 Author: Virginia Woolf Narrator: David Shaw-Parker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 6 minutes Release date: January 1, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: Adeline Virginia Woolf was born on the 25th January 1882 in South Kensington in London.Although lauded as a founder of modernist writing with such classics as 'Orlando', 'Mrs Dalloway' and 'To the Lighthouse' and, of course, many classic short stories, her background is filled with elements of tragedy that she somehow overcame to become such a revered writer. Her mother died when she was 13, her half-sister Stella two years later and with it her first of several nervous breakdowns. Appallingly it was later found that three of her half-brothers had sexually abused her so darkness must have seemed ever present. She began writing professionally at age 20 but her father's death two years later brought a complete mental collapse, and she was briefly institutionalised. Somehow, she found within herself a literary career and with it great innovations in writing; she was a pioneer of "stream of consciousness". Her tight circle of friends were the founders of the Bloomsbury Group, a movement whose legacy still influences across the arts and society in many ways to this day. Whilst the dark periods continued to interrupt her emotional state her rate of work never ceased. Until on 28th March 1941, Woolf put on her overcoat, filled up its pockets with stones, and walked into the River Ouse, in Lewes, East Sussex and drowned herself. Her body was not recovered until the 18th April. She was 59.She left behind a note which read in part:?"Dearest, I feel certain that I am going mad again. I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times. And I shan't recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can't concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do".1 - Virginia Woolf - A Short Story Collection Volume 2 - An Introduction2 - The Legacy by Virginia Woolf3 - Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf 4 - The Mark on the Wall by Virginia Woolf5 - An Unwritten Novel by Virginia Woolf6 - The Lady in the Looking Glass by Virginia Woolf]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/677471Sun, 01 Jan 2023 08:49:27 +0000Nikita SchambergerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/677471 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Stories of God Author: Rainer Maria Rilke Narrator: Elliot Fitzpatrick Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 29 minutes Release date: January 1, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: René Karl Wilhelm Johann Josef Maria Rilke was born into a troubled marriage on the 4th December 1875 in Prague, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His mother, having previously lost a baby girl, would dress the young boy up in girl's clothing. Later his father dispatched him to a military academy at age 10 but after a miserable 5 years the young Rilke left due to illness and instead entered first Prague and then Munich and finally Berlin university to study art history, philosophy and literature.His initial forays into literature was in poetry. His intense, mystical and lyrical style was much admired and over time inspired many in succeeding generations. His short prose collection 'Stories of God', written in an impassioned burst over several nights was published in 1900 and offers a beguiling view of much of Rilke's influences and outlook. The following year he married the pioneering sculptor and artist Clara Westhoff. The union produced one child, a daughter Ruth. He lived in Paris for most of the Century's first decade where he mixed with many great minds of the time. Although he continued to write he also worked as a secretary to the sculptor, Rodin. It was only after they settled in Switzerland in 1919 that his writing output was in full flow. Here he wrote profusely in both German and French, which included much on his previous travels, his left-wing sympathies, his religious and existential thoughts, all part of a unique and consummate style.From 1923 on, Rilke increasingly struggled with his health which was now in constant decline and often spent time rehabilitating at a sanatorium.

Title: Le Grande Bretèche Author: Honoré De Balzac Narrator: Elliot Fitzpatrick Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 58 minutes Release date: January 1, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: Honoré de Balzac was born on the 20th May, 1799 in the French city of Tours into an upper middle class family. At birth Balzac was wet-nursed and often then schooled away from home by parents who seemed remote. So difficult was life that at 15 he attempted suicide. The family's intention was for him to have a career in law but Balzac preferred literature. An avid reader, he began writing but his early attempts showed little promise. He thereafter settled in Paris and began to publish anonymously across political, philosophical, and historical novels.In 1825, Balzac purchased a printing house. He was soon bankrupt and forced to return to writing in order to reduce his debts. But his literary fortunes had changed, and his writing was now to achieve considerable success. He was accepted among the city's literary élites and its salons and would play an important role in establishing the copyright law in France. Balzac often worked on more than one project at a time and in his magnus opus 'The Human Comedy' all types of texts were collected to offer a rare narrative of different classes and social stereotypes of society. For many Balzac is considered the father of French realism, yet his works also cover philosophical and psychological questions. His writing was a fundamental source of inspiration for many distinguished and later writers such as Flaubert, Zola and Proust. Balzac also tried his hand at magazine publication with 'La Chronique de Paris' and 'La Revue Parisienne.' Although he was partnered with others such as Victor Hugo, it was another complete financial failure. As a committed Catholic, Balzac's stories also dealt with themes of mysticism, esotericism and spirituality, as well as universality and humanism. In politics, he was a staunch defender of the French Crown but unlike his contemporaries he was not an implacable enemy of the republicans. He often presented disagreements between royalists and republicans as a tolerable difference in political opinion. Despite many relationships Balzac married only towards the end of his life and it was in 1833 that he met the Polish Countess Hanska, who only became his wife 17 years later after an extensive relationship by correspondence and, by then, his health was ruinously bad. Honoré de Balzac died on 18th August 1850 in Paris.

Title: The Converts Author: Israel Zangwill Narrator: Elliot Fitzpatrick Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 35 minutes Release date: January 1, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: Israel Zangwill was born in London on 21st January 1864, to a family of Jewish immigrants from the Russian Empire. Zangwill was initially educated in Plymouth and Bristol. At age 9 he was enrolled in the Jews' Free School in Spitalfields in east London. Zangwill excelled here. He began to teach part-time at the school and eventually full time. Whilst teaching he also studied with the University of London and by 1884 had earned his BA with triple honours in philosophy, history, and the sciences.His writing earned him the sobriquet "the Dickens of the Ghetto" primarily based on his much lauded novel 'Children of the Ghetto: A Study of a Peculiar People' in 1892 and its glimpse of the poverty-stricken life in London's Jewish quarter.As a writer he was keen to reflect on his political and social outlooks. His simulation of Yiddish sentence structure in English aroused great interest. His mystery work, 'The Big Bow Mystery' (1892) was the first locked room mystery novel. Zangwill was also involved with narrowly focused Jewish issues as an assimilationist, an early Zionist, and later a territorialist. In the early 1890s he joined the Lovers of Zion movement in England. In 1897 he joined Theodor Herzl (considered the father of modern political Zionism) in founding the World Zionist Organization. Zangwill quit the established philosophy of Zionism when his plan for a homeland in Uganda was rejected and founded his own organisation; the Jewish Territorialist Organization. Its stated goal was to create a Jewish homeland in whatever territory in the world could be found for them. Amongst the challenges in his life he found time to write poetry. He had translated a medieval Jewish poet in 1903 and his volume 'Blind Children' in 1908 was well received. 'The Melting Pot' in 1909 made Zangwill's name as an admired playwright. When the play opened in Washington D.C., former President Theodore Roosevelt leaned over the edge of his box and shouted, "That's a great play, Mr. Zangwill, that's a great play."

Title: Vladimir Korolenko - A Short Story Collection Author: Vladimir Korolenko Narrator: Mark Rice-Oxley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 24 minutes Release date: January 1, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: Vladimir Galaktionovich Korolenko was born in Zhytomyr, Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire on 27th July 1853.His father died when he was 13 and life was then often struck with bouts of poverty, which resulted in his education being somewhat erratic. A spell in exile at 23 was followed by another as the politics of the times opposed his volatile but heart-felt passions.Writing was also coming to the fore and in 1879 his debut short story telling of a young Narodnik searching for social and spiritual identity, was published.In 1881, Korolenko refused to swear allegiance to the new Russian Tsar and was again exiled, this time much farther afield. He spent the next three years doing manual work, but took time to study local customs and history. These impressions in exile provided rich material for his writings.In 1885 he was allowed to settle in Nizhny, where again he repeatedly questioned the authorities. That same year 'Makar's Dream' established his literary reputation and was part of his first collection 'Sketches and Stories', the following year.In the early 1890's when famine struck Central Russia, he went to work on relief missions, collecting donations, supervising the delivery and distribution of food, opening 45 free canteens, all this while writing the graphic reports that would later be published as 'In the Year of Famine' in 1893.By 1896 despite some psychological disorders, he was well regarded amongst Russian writers and was even a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Throughout his writing career Korolenko was a staunch advocate of human rights, putting that sacred activity above what he called his 'part-time-writing'.In the Revolutionary year of 1905, under his editorship, Russkoye Bogatstvo published the Manifest by the Petersburg Soviet of the Workers' deputies. Korolenko was now repeatedly harassed by the authorities, had his flat raided many times and materials confiscated.As a lifetime opponent of Tsarism, he guardedly welcomed the Revolution of 1917. Once the nature of Bolshevism was established, he soon started to criticize it. During the Russian Civil War that ensued, he condemned both the Red Terror and the White Terror.

Title: Vladimir Korolenko - A Short Story Collection Author: Vladimir Korolenko Narrator: Mark Rice-Oxley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 24 minutes Release date: January 1, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: Vladimir Galaktionovich Korolenko was born in Zhytomyr, Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire on 27th July 1853.His father died when he was 13 and life was then often struck with bouts of poverty, which resulted in his education being somewhat erratic. A spell in exile at 23 was followed by another as the politics of the times opposed his volatile but heart-felt passions.Writing was also coming to the fore and in 1879 his debut short story telling of a young Narodnik searching for social and spiritual identity, was published.In 1881, Korolenko refused to swear allegiance to the new Russian Tsar and was again exiled, this time much farther afield. He spent the next three years doing manual work, but took time to study local customs and history. These impressions in exile provided rich material for his writings.In 1885 he was allowed to settle in Nizhny, where again he repeatedly questioned the authorities. That same year 'Makar's Dream' established his literary reputation and was part of his first collection 'Sketches and Stories', the following year.In the early 1890's when famine struck Central Russia, he went to work on relief missions, collecting donations, supervising the delivery and distribution of food, opening 45 free canteens, all this while writing the graphic reports that would later be published as 'In the Year of Famine' in 1893.By 1896 despite some psychological disorders, he was well regarded amongst Russian writers and was even a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Throughout his writing career Korolenko was a staunch advocate of human rights, putting that sacred activity above what he called his 'part-time-writing'.In the Revolutionary year of 1905, under his editorship, Russkoye Bogatstvo published the Manifest by the Petersburg Soviet of the Workers' deputies. Korolenko was now repeatedly harassed by the authorities, had his flat raided many times and materials confiscated.As a lifetime opponent of Tsarism, he guardedly welcomed the Revolution of 1917. Once the nature of Bolshevism was established, he soon started to criticize it. During the Russian Civil War that ensued, he condemned both the Red Terror and the White Terror. Despite suffering from a progressive heart disorder, he collected food packages for children in famine-stricken Moscow and Petrograd as well as organised orphanages and shelters for the homeless.

Until the day I get a call from a man with a very similar story. Everyone says his sister jumped too. But he has proof that she was pushed. And if she was, I have to ask myself: could the same thing have happened to Poppy? In the moments before she died, was she really calling me to say goodbye, or was she calling for my help? Was she really alone on that cliff edge? When Poppy’s friends tell me she had a serious boyfriend, I feel like I’m losing my grip on reality. If they were so madly in love, wouldn’t she have told me? Wouldn’t there be pictures of them together? And when I find the silver heart necklace he gave her, I feel sick. It’s the same silver heart another murdered girl was given in the weeks before she died. This can’t be a coincidence. Either I’ve lost my mind, or the man my darling sister loved killed her.

Su secuestradora no es una desconocida, sino su maestra de Lengua y Literatura, una mujer joven a quien ella y sus amigas han atormentado durante meses en un colegio de élite del Opus Dei. Pero pronto los motivos de ese secuestro se revelarán mucho más oscuros que el bullyng a una maestra: un perturbador amor juvenil, una traición inesperada y algunos ritos secretos e iniciáticos inspirados en esas historias virales y terroríficas gestadas en Internet. Mandíbula es una novela sobre el miedo y su relación con la familia, la sexualidad y la violencia.

Su secuestradora no es una desconocida, sino su maestra de Lengua y Literatura, una mujer joven a quien ella y sus amigas han atormentado durante meses en un colegio de élite del Opus Dei. Pero pronto los motivos de ese secuestro se revelarán mucho más oscuros que el bullyng a una maestra: un perturbador amor juvenil, una traición inesperada y algunos ritos secretos e iniciáticos inspirados en esas historias virales y terroríficas gestadas en Internet. Mandíbula es una novela sobre el miedo y su relación con la familia, la sexualidad y la violencia. Narrada con una prosa llena de destellos líricos, símbolos desconcertantes y saltos en el tiempo, toma rasgos del thriller psicológico para desarrollar el juego mental que se produce entre alumnas y maestras, y escarbar en las relaciones pasionales entre madres e hijas, hermanas y 'mejores amigas', recreando un mundo de lo femenino-monstruoso que se conecta con la tradición del cine de terror y la literatura de género.]]>305cleanfull
